I went to the dr. yesterday and found out that my pancreas is on overdrive and working too hard to use the glucose in my blood. I had a glucose tolerance test and they found my cells were not taking the glucose in, making the pancreas work extra hard to regulate my blood sugar.
I am now taking meds and changing my diet.

Also, my dad went to his oncologist and they started another round of hormone shots. Please pray that this subsides the rapid cancer growth and that this time he doesn't have the horrible side effects (weakness, lethargy, confusion, hot flashes, pain, and breast growth.)

My mom is a trooper and staying so positive, as always. We are not sure yet how successful her radiation treatments were, but her radiation burns are healing. She is starting to have more tremors from her MS, so please also say an extra prayer for that.

Thank you caterinafmig for the beautiful praying effectively post. Very inspirational!!!

May the Lord intercede in a major way for you and your family. Keep hanging in there, God has a better day on the way.

Gritty, I am so sorry for what your family is going through. I do agree with Cat, may the Lord intercede in all things for you and your family. Praying for you all.

Lifting up Barb today too - praying for your DH and your family.

Joan, lifting up your DH and his job and stress issues as well as total well being.

Cat, uplifting your grandson and praying for all the COLE children. I have to agree that post on prayer was very inspirational! Our pastor has been teaching on it as well and lots of similarities. I have read other things too the power of prayer is INCREDIBLE and praying effectively can be crucial.

Lifting up Sara, Ellen & Jimmy praying they are enjoying their time together and praying for healing phyically and emotionally.

Nikki, keeping you in prayer with your DH, job situation and possible move. May the Lord guide you each step of the way.

Happy Saturday! Asking God to watch over everyone in need of prayers.
Just a quick note...
My Middle ds and DIL just left. They came to get some stuff for their house. She definitely looks pregnant. They don't want to know if it is a girl or boy. I told him I would have to get my sewing machine fixed to make dresses. Josh was mad. I told you I don't want to know!

Joan, that's the only bummer about not knowing is not knowing what to prepare. LOL, we tried to find out but her sonogram picture is hysterical she was covering her middle with her hands crossed like she didn't want us to know. LOL. I was 6 months when I had mine done.

GOOD LUCK - all the way around praying for them for healthy happy baby.

Happy Monday! praying for everyone who is need.
Please add my oldest DS to your prayers. he came home from work last night very upset. He is on final notice before being firing. he is such a hard worker. he thinks that he is targeted. the company is trying to cut their loses. he makes more than some of the supervisor because he has been there so long. He is thinking of quitting before they fire him. I feel so bad for him. He has given a lot to that company over the past 7 yrs.

Joan, please give your sweet handsome son our very best and tell Him that the Lord might be working on something better for him.

Joan, so sorry about this. He has the baby on the way? I would say don't quit if he does that I don't believe there is unemployment benefits then (I think that's how it works) He can start looking for something else and get his resume together even if he doesn't end up having to use it then he is ready. For me, that can make me feel better and then you feel more confident and for me had to learn to make big decisions when I am not emotional - sad, mad, happy or whatever. Those big decisions need to be made when calm and all options can be weighed and a calm decision made. He can prepare himself but I don't think I would quit. My humble thoughts.

wow Joan I do understand where he is right now. It was the hardest decision that i had to make as well. I hope the best for him. I am not sure why it happens to those people that have been there forever and the ones that take care of your business, the ones that do their jobs, come to work, on time, etc etc I could go on. But sometimes it is just how it is. He will be in my thoughts and prayers as well as you as his Mother. I know my mom was upset when I got upset. So it hurts moms too. hugs

Caterina- thanks for the positive thoughts
Michele- I will pass on the advice. My middle son is the one that is expecting. My oldest son is not married. He lives at home. He is the computer geek. The one whose girlfriend lives in MO. He drove down to see her. She told him to go home because she didn't feel well.

Location: I don't know but wherever I am, I'VE GOTTA CUT BACK ON THE CAFFIENE!!!!!

Hey Girls! Please send up emergency prayers for one of my bestest friends ANGIE. SHE IS 32 YEARS OLD JUST AS I AM AND HAS 4 KIDS RAISING AS A SINGLE MOM. She is recovering from cervical cancer, recently diagnosed with Lupus along with many many other medical conditions including anemia and others and was hospitalized several days ago for what appeared to be an inflamation of one of the soars she has on her legs caused by her lupus, however when she got to the hospital ER, they quickly determined she has SEPTIC ARTHRITIS in her knee and transfered her to a disease control specialist in Tenn. where they have in addition to that determined that she has a major staph infection known as MRSA and with her severely reduced immune system it is very critical for her right now. They have done one surgery already but after 3 days there has still been no reduction in the infections presence according to repeated bloodwork and other tests. They have her in ICU in the wound care center, she is unable to walk at all and from what I understand, at best she may lose her leg and at worse she could easily die. Today is her youngest daughters bday and so as you can imagine, it is very very hard at this time. They have her in a medicaly induced coma for now to allow her body the extra rest that it needs and for better pain control. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE just send up prayers for her and her family during this time!!!

Thanks,
Sara

Sara, so very sorry to hear - may the Lord cover your dear friend with His grace, love, mercy, peace and healing. Please let me know if we could send some encouraging mail.

I just recieved this request from Korin Sutherland owner of Sweet'nSassy Stamps and a friend of mine. Please pray for this young man.

"Please pray for Micah Toth. He is the 14 yr old son of a friend of ours. His dad backed over him with a truck today while they were harvestng corn. Both his lungs were crushed and he has a few broken ribs. He was flown to a hospital in Pittsburgh, I believe. His parents are believers and I believe he is as well. He is the oldest of 5. They are a sweet, sweet family. Please pray hard! This just breaks our hearts. I cannot even imagine what his dad is going through right now.

How upsetting for the poor dad. May the Lord release His awesome power for complete healing - physically, mentally and emotionally.

Just got this update from Kat's CB site and thought to share it....
Hello Team Kat!
Katherine completed her first day of school today and all went very well. She misses her puppy, but I kept him at home with me this week because he needed to have his stitches (from his neutering) removed and we go to Atlanta Wednesday for her MRI. If Duffy is in Mobile rather than Montgomery John can babysit him instead of having to put him in the doggie hotel. Duffy will go to Montgomery with Kat next weekend after our MRI.

Speaking of the MRI, it's time for some heaven storming prayers ok? Kat has been stable for over a year and we are shooting for that to continue. So, if you are a prayerful person we'd appreciate some going up for Katherine. I know you will. She is also going to have surgery on Thursday to remove her port. She is really excited about that as well. It doesn't bother her or anything but it will just be nice to have it gone...know what I mean??

Take care and thank you all so very much again for being on Kat's team! We couldn't do it without all of you.

Caterina- I am so glad that they know what he has. Sorry that the little guy has to deal with this. I will keep thinking about him.
Prayers going up for all the people who need God's intervention.
Hugs to all...

Hi Hotwheels! I know what you are saying about true friends it's so hard.

Ladies, I have a prayer request Baby Braden is going in for another surgery he has what Sara has with the tubes and he is only 6 months old. This is his 5th surgery. Please pray his operation is at 8 am and they need to figure what to do to reduce the swelling.

awww poor baby Braden sorry about his next surgery, praying that the drs can figure out what to do. Prayers for the family.

Michele- Sorry to hear about Brandon. I will say a special prayer for him. It is a prayer my mom always said over the babies. "Angel of God my guardian dear, to whom God's love commits me here, ever this day be at Brandon's side, to light to guide to rule and guide. Amen" I said this each night over my boys.
